Convince me not to buy a 2005 Mustang GT with 102k miles for 7 grand.
It looks worse than a foxbody, and it has a 4.mightaswellbeaV6
>>15241452
i cant, make sure it hasn't been in any accidents
>>15241452
gt is specifically the 5.0 right?
>>15241503
That gen has the 3V 4.6
Why don't you drive a Scion iM /o/?
The styling is pretty good for the small shitbox hatchback category
The interior has a lot of room and you can fit 5 people comfortably, unlike a Fiesta
You can get it with either a 6spd manual or a "7spd" CVT
It has a Toyota motor that was probably developed in the Reagan era so it's guaranteed to be reliable
It has a double wishbone rear suspension for maximum driving pleasure
It has more standard features than most BMWs
You can get one for a $149/mo 0 down lease or get 0% financing for 72mo...

...is the lease really that cheap?

Just a reminder:
You can own the nicest car around but if you have a gross looking wart on your body, the wart will ruin women's feelings toward you and your car and they will likely leave.
So please go and get your warts frozen off by a doctor. Don't put it off because their goal is to make your acconplishments meaningless.
lol, I actually do have a wart or a blister or something on my shoulder and has been there for several months. I used to think "ehh I'll have the doctor check it out if it's still here after X months/weeks", but it's still here. I might just pole it with a needle and squeeze the puss out, it's going to be a lot of puss
>>15241143
also, girls like my car and think I'm cute. I don't think anybody actually notices/cares about the wart as I have never heard comments about it but have heard comments on other parts of my body
>>15241049
>freezing warts
what a faggot, take them out with a knife you huge pussy
Photoshop the Aztec thread!
Make this car look a little better! (Or worse)
>>15241021
here you go!

Thanks!
At least you don't have a crossbar in your rear view mirror when you back up now
Does anyone know what kind of wheels these are and know how wide they might be?
I'm trying to get new tires put on, but the place I'm getting them done at don't do stretched tires, so they need an exact measurement. I don't want to buy new wheels, either, since I'm broke, and I love how these guys look.
TE37 clone
That's all I know about them
shitty te37 knock off
how wide are they? nigga how should we know. read the markings on the wheel.
if you cant find them read the markings on the tire.
it will say xxx/xx/Rxx
the first number is width in mm, the second is percentage of the width for sidewall height, last number followed by the R is wheel size.
that tire already looks mildly stretched so the wheel width is probably half an inch smaller than the tire width.
They look like Avid AV01s. They're decent knock offs that I have. A whole set can be had for less than one Te37.
not a v6.
Wondering if the Chiron will ever hit 500 kph. Seeing how things are now I'm afraid the swedes or even the americans will trump it within a year..
just a friendly reminder
the henneshit isn't a production car and it couldn't do a return run
>>15240569
Guess you're right. Btw what happened to that SSC Tuataattarata car? It was supposed to be godlike but they never got into making it??
>>15240612
It also got reservations like no other car got in the history on the moment it was first revealed. And SSC said no.
oh the joy...

and nothing of value was lost
>>15240070
Bankruptcy doesn't mean out of money
It means people think they have more money than they have so they have to count what they actually have before they file their taxes.
I bet you think Trump is broke too
>>15240070
Theyre only doing that to try to get rid of that Hulk Hogan judgement money.
Which one and why ?
>>15240027
ram
rather cummin than strokin :^))))))))))
There's a reason why Cummins isn't Dodge-exclusive for pickups anymore. Just something to think about.

I currently daily a 96 Saturn SL2, basic crap car but gets good gas mileage. The exterior door frame above the passenger and driver side windows has various patches of clear coat peeling off. Tried spraying Rustoleum clear coat on it, and it worked for a bit, but eventually it peeled again and came back. Maybe I didn't sand enough or whatever, but is there anyway to fix this without have to take those body panels off and repaint?
Pic related, it looks exactly like that
There is no way to fix this but sand it off and repaint the car.
Source: I paint cars
I can't remove the remaining peeling coat and reapply a new coat?
>>15240079
There's no way to remove the clear without fucking up the base coat.
Hey guys,
Really torn here. I have over $20,000 saved for my dream car. I don't know if I should buy a 67 Impala, and LS it, or maybe take my Volvo 245 and put an LS3 in it, creating a monster wagon... or just buy a fucking WRX or STI Wagon.
This is the first time I've been in position to do this, and knowing how much $20,000+ could buy when it comes to making my dream car is very odd for me.
>>15239874
Plus, I've always loved subaru's, but 20k to buy a 2 year old Subaru with like 30k-50k on it, with a shit interior, versus probably spending less on a project car with more horsepower, and a new tranny and engine.
>>15239874
i would never personaly spent that amount of money on a subaru, kust buy an impala becouse it looks beutifull, rides great its comftortable it has nice sound and basicly it's an all around great car, but maybe you should just restore it from top to bottom change the suspension make it look great and reliable suspension it's a reverse order of getting the car done i guess but you'll se you dont always need 1000hp becouse it's not that important especially in a car like that. at least that's how we restore our USA cars here in europe
>>15239922
and here is a video which will describe my thoughts more clearly becouse my english is not so great and i can't express my thoughts with writing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogomhwse3ig

I'm buying a new car, is pic related normal?
Car is a 2010 CRZ btw
apparently it's been sitting for a few months, the rest of the car is in great condition though, I didn't see any other relevant rust
>>15239766
Yep, no worries. Rotors rust very quickly. It's just surface rust. I wouldn't think twice about it
>>15239786
If you're worried, ride the brakes for maybe a block or two and they'll clean right up
>>15239786
Unless the rust caused pitting, then they wont ever really clean up and every time you hit the brakes it will rumble and vibrate and make noise.
I'm looking for a fun, fast, cheapish yet eye turning car, and I found this great WRX. Its a 2002 for gen bug eye with 98k miles, I think i can get the guy down to low 6ks. Is it worth getting? Any other suggestions? thanks br/o/s
>https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/5580603286.html
>>15239693
Looks pretty clean. At that mileage it probably needs a suspension rebuild and a timing belt if it has one and it hasn't been done already (with proof)
>>15239719
how much do you think the suspension would cost?
>>15239739
400-1200 depending on quality of suspension
